Not as the first language, but as a mandatory part of any respectable CS curriculum. Not unlike a software engineer that doesn't know (and doesn't learn) assembly, writing code with an AI producing output the human doesn't understand means that whole classes of bugs are un-debug-able. I have a little faith that AIs will be as reliable as modern compilers, but who knows what the future holds.
